Default New BMW M3 clearing its throat at 2014 Villa d’Este [video]


431 HP and 550 Nm

The all-new BMW M3 has been filmed while starting up its engine and revving during the 2014 Concorso d'Eleganza Villa d'Este. The video includes also some nice detail shots of the exterior and the interior.

M3/M4’s power is provided by a 3.0-liter TwinPower Turbo six-cylinder engine that develops 431 PS (317 kW) and 550 Nm (406 lb-ft) of torque. Both the coupe and the sedan perform the 0-100 km/h (0-62 mph) run in 4.2 seconds and reach an electronically-limited max speed of 250 km/h (155 mph).

BMW Professional Driver Claudiu David gives a series of journalists some hot laps aboard the new 2015 BMW M4 at the Algarve Race Track in Portugal.

See their reaction while David is going through tight corners, elevations and straight lines reaching over 165 mph.

Along with some hot laps around the Algarve race track, we also spent some time drifting the M4.

I just walked over to my BMW dealer who got a M3 a week early. It was in white/black and looked really really good in person. There is much more room inside seemingly everywhere and the trunk seemed really vast. There seems to be tons of room for larger wheels

List was 82k and market adjustment pricing was 25k for a price of 105k

The interior is well done to me. The M in the headrest/seats lights up when you open the door.

From most angles the side view mirrors look connected like the last gen but they are not.



Overall with first impressions I liked it a ton. A tuner has already put down 479hp TO THE WHEELS with a stage one tuning. The M3 is running a 20psi stock, the tune was at 24 psi.

Even without the market adjustment, 82k for a M3 just sounds like a lot. I'm sure they will sell them all though.

Flat bottom would be nice. But the leather, contrast M stitching, aluminum and high grade plastics work well

I am sure the flat bottom will be available from the M Performance catalog

It exist, you can have it, you just have to pay more. Again, the base price just get you a running car with the badge, you are more then welcome to add anything you want

20 year olds do not need this sort of machine to begin their driving careers
